Abdul Sattar Edhi

The great human being Abdul Sattar Edhi has left us, still humanity is alive after his death. Edhi’s eyes were donated to two blind persons and now they are able to see the world again.

The life of Edhi teaches the whole nation about how to help the poor and needy. Abdul Sattar Edhi devoted his whole life to the service of others and never thought about himself. I would like to request the whole nation to follow Edhi’s humanitarian acts and continue his mission.

The death of Abdul Sattar Edhi, who worked for others for more than 60 years, is not only a loss for his family but an equally big loss for the whole of humanity.

It was through the efforts of this honourable man that the Edhi Foundation was established for the poor, the orphans, the homeless and the dead who were not claimed by anyone. It is the responsibility of the government to continue and promote the foundation and work of Abdul Sattar Edhi.

Very few people get time to promote and serve humanity. Individualism and the pursuit for a materialistic life rarely make it possible to think about others. However, the legendary philanthropist, the richest poor, Abdul Sattar Edhi served humanity irrespective of their religion, race and colour.

Undoubtedly, his death is a great loss for the nation and nobody can take his place, but he has set the example of serving humanity that we should all follow.

I appeal to government of Pakistan to own the Edhi Home and his other humanitarian institutions and take actions in support and promotion of his good work.

Abdul Sattar Edhi, a symbol of peace, a guiding light for the destitute and an angle for humanity, has passed away. He spent his entire life for those who were homeless and poor. He lived for others and I would not be wrong to say that Edhi was the only person in Pakistan who tried to teach humanity.

He may not be with us physically today, but his ideas and work will remain and be remembered forever.

Three clever chicks

This is with reference to the story “Three clever chicks” by Zara Naz (YW, June 25). The story was very nice and gave the lesson to always be kind even with the one who is evil with you so that bad people learn the lesson of peace and love.
